Hi Friend!

I've been designing for brands such as DirecTV, Telemundo, Univision, Netflix, Disney, Hulu, Lionsgate and more for over 18 years. I started by creating fan videos and websites to express my love for Dragon Ball Z when I was a kid and haven't looked back. Video games were my window into pop culture and a punk rock mentality is how I live every day.

I've always had a natural ability and drive to create and sell. When I was in 4th grade I would put "Kidz Enterprizes" on the back of my book reports. In 7th grade, I would print out Pokemon screenshots of the PokeRap and sell them to my friends. As a teenager, I would sell bottled water at local events and do anything I could to make my own way. My parents owned their own advertising agency, which is where I officially got my start professionally.

I've since work in TV, Film Marketing, local businesses, and now working one-on-one with freelancers and entrepreneurs who want to fully embrace who they are in their business lives. As a creative consultant, I share my own triumphs and difficulties with tips and tricks to navigate tools, mindset and expanding creativity in a way that suits your personality.

This is where I stand today, sharing the stories of everything I've learned and harnessing them into courses, podcasts and videos to help others realize that if they allow themselves to be themselves, they can level-up their reality in no-time.

"...to be all you is to level-up your reality."

Why Creative Consulting?

It's where typology, mental health, ambition and lifestyle converge.

Being a nerd comes with it's own challenges growing up. I'm also an intense introvert with a propensity to favor thinking over emotions. It's been quite a challenge to connect with people based solely on my personality. I've had to develop who I am not simply just be the default version of myself that has had past difficulty connecting with others. I also have cyclothymia, a low-grade bipolar disorder, and ADHD, which present challenges in working for strict businesses and subvert common expectations. I've had to learn to set my own boundaries.

I know there are others out there with similar adversities that don't allow them to fit into the common mold so easily. For some of us, the dream to build a life of our own is a matter of it being the only possibility.

Not only that but there are plenty of people who simply want more out of life. We want to not struggle every day to pay the bills, student loans and fear that we can't pay for the next hospital visit. We want to create life on our terms and do it without sacrificing who we are.

Frankly, I teach that leaning into who we are is the quickest way to focus on what we have to offer, how we can present that, who we can connect to and how can we best serve those people.

We're all capable of love, we're all worthy of success, but it's not a guarantee. We have to take the steps towards making that happen, to put in the work. So, let's take a look, break it all down and build you back up again.

The Most Talented

by Colin Costello

I worked with Christian Rivera, first at an agency in Santa Monica called Stradella Road and then on my own personal film project. I find Christian to be one of the most talented and smartest designers I have had the pleasure of working with. He comes not with one vision, but several. He takes feedback well and comes back with something even better. I am lucky to have worked with him and plan on it again.

Let me show you what I can do...

Multimedia Services Item Selection

I love working with clients who love their craft and is excited for their idea to be produced. The prices are listed so that we can start a conversation on the same page to make sure you can afford what you need before we even start a conversation.

Prices are subject to change depending on the timing and complexity of the job.

Let's do this!

Learning is just as much about the teacher as it is about the content.

Character Select: INFJ | The Mage

A truly magical personality type!

INFjs are some of the most interesting characters in the Myers-Briggs system, so there's a reason why I chose to create an individual course for them first. They truly have the ability to dive deep into individual topics and often require or hope for that from others. They're an incredibly powerful type that strives for endless connection and aims to form a community around that notion. They can be some of the greatest thought leaders in history. Take a dive into the mind of The Mage, the INFJ.

Podcasting for Absolute Beginners

From conception to exection, everything you should be thinking podcasting.

This 8+ hour course goes into concepts, technical aspects and personal stories of developing a podcast over the past year. The course is essentially everything I've learned over the past 135+ episodes of podcasting over 10 months of learning mixed with nearly 20 years of media creation. We talk about identifying your "why?", your "mission", your "goals", working through insecurities, technical issues, and other challenges.
